Janakinath Bose (28 May 1860–1934) was an Indian lawyer and advocate, who was the father of Indian independence leader Subhas Chandra Bose.[1][2]

Education and career

The fourth son of Haranath Bose, he was born on 28 May 1860 in village Kodalia, in the present South 24 Parganas district. He passed his matriculation examination from the Albert School and was subsequently educated at the Scottish Church College, and at the Ravenshaw College, from where he graduated. Subsequently, he studied law at the University of Calcutta.[1]

During his stay in Calcutta, he came in contact with leaders of the Brahmo Samaj, and was deeply influenced by their vision. In 1885, he joined the bar in the court of Cuttack, where he practised, and went on to become an advocate.[1] He was appointed Government Pleader and later given the title Rai Bahadur, which he relinquished in protest.

His career as an advocate made him come in contact with various religious, and political personalities of the Indian Independence movement. He passed many of his ideals and values to his 9th son, Subhas, at a very young age.[1]

Personal life

He was married to Prabhabati Dutt, who would play a substantial role in the education of their eight sons and six daughters, including Sarat Chandra Bose and Subash Chandra Bose.[1]
